Updated to ffmpeg-0.7.3 and still no effect.

Neither of these produce any effect:

      ffmpeg -y -i test.skype.mov -an -vf scale=1280:480 -map 0.2 -vcodec copy test.video.mov

      ffmpeg -y -i test.skype.mov -an -vf scale=1280:480,pad=1280:480:640:0:white -map 0.2 -vcodec copy test.video.mov

Maybe the problem is -vcodec copy... although I've tried various
re-encoding schemes with no effect either.
